Shouldn't HW be abolished if FLW is?

[shococham]

Many people want FLW to be abolished and even don't like BW because the guys are "manlets". However HW has abnormally large people who tend to not be far less athletic than FLW's. HW also had a super fight with LHW and the LHW champ won against their divisions GOAT. So by Cjuedo v TJ logic shouldn't HW be abolished? If it's matter of numbers the HW card's aren't going great either even the superfight between DC and Stipe didn't sell too well.

So should the HW division be abolished?

nope but this thread should be

The sad truth is the Flyweights are 10 times more action packed and technical than HWs, but we just love to see the big boys throw haymakers at each other (for 2 minutes, then it's a low gas tank affair, mostly).

There will never be a time when they can't find enough fat boys that want to fight each other. There just aren't as many 125 lb dudes around.

Isn't that kinda gay tho?

Hw is fucking awesome. Only noob nerds think this way. Flyweight never would stand a chance against hw glory.

 

[IvanEmelianenko]

People actually like watching Heavyweights fight so...

No

 

[g*r*b]

They already abolished the top weight division long, long before FW was even established. They did have a superheavyweight fight once upon a time.

No end thread

Thank you

 

[Aluminati]

Nah, but they really should scrap the weight cap.

HW = slower
...but...
FLW = weaklings

New divisions - 140, 160, 180, 270

One time a manlet actually beat someone who was three times his size. That manlet was Keith Hackney.

Retarded thread.

?

If every flyweight fought every heavyweight in succession, what would the result be? I'm all for weight classes, but sometimes we forget that they are arbitrary and artificial.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

People actually care about HWs. Probably has to do with their finish percentage.

People like watching knockouts. Statistically Flyweights have the lowest KO ratio and the highest decision rates. There will always be an interest with heavyweights in any combat sport.

Outside of Sherdog, nobody gives a sh*t about Flyweights. I don’t know why people get offended!?

They should, when the HW champion ducks another weight class champion willing to fight him in his division.

What happened to the Randy Jo tape leaked thread? That's the kind of quality content and posting that I appreciate. The reason I ask is that the type of thread the TS is offering up here is goddamn trash. OK well thanks and enjoy the weigh ins today.

Actually its the inverse. There will always be far more small athletes than large especially given a third of our world's population is asian.

Finding athletic big men is much more difficult and as discussed here many times, the truly athletic big men gravitate towards sports that actually pay well.

Realistically anything under MW should be abolished since apparently anyone under 6'1 220ish is a manlet and not worth watching fight because they are so much smaller than all us jacked skyscrapers.

Kind of weird FLW is the only one that gets any real hate.

Have you seen some of the FW, LW they are not small, some have average height but makes them just bigger because there is more mass on shorter frame but at some point it looks small.
